How do I run directory-structured tests in phpunit?

Question

The PHPUnit docs say that I can shove all my tests into a folder and run phpunit on the folder to execute them all in one go:

http://www.phpunit.de/manual/current/en/organizing-tests.html

But when I try on my forked copy of Slim (https://github.com/codeguy/Slim) it doesn't work! I have installed PHPUnit via PEAR so I don't think there's anything odd about it.

Here's the output:

mark@ubuntu:/project/submodules/Slim$ phpunit tests     
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'PHPUnit_Framework_Exception' with message 'Neither "tests.php" nor "tests.php" could be opened.' in /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Util/Skeleton/Test.php:102
Stack trace:
#0 /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/TextUI/Command.php(157): PHPUnit_Util_Skeleton_Test->__construct('tests', '')
#1 /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/TextUI/Command.php(129): PHPUnit_TextUI_Command->run(Array, true)
#2 /usr/bin/phpunit(49): PHPUnit_TextUI_Command::main()
#3 {main}
  thrown in /usr/share/php/PHPUnit/Util/Skeleton/Test.php on line 102

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

-EDIT-

I'm using PHPUnit 3.5.15.

Here are the contents of the directories Slim and tests:

mark@ubuntu:/project/submodules/Slim$ ls -l

I've literally just forked Slim and cloned it, nothing fancy!

Can you paste the contents of the Slim and tests folders? — David Harkness

It's PHPUnit v3.5.15. I will edit the question to include the contents of the folders. Thanks! — Mark Stickley

Normally you issue the phpunit command inside whichever folder contains phpunit.xml and/or bootstrap.php. My guess is that these are located inside the tests folder.

.../Slim$ cd tests
.../Slim/tests$ phpunit

Thanks! I've added the directory contents but unfortunately there isn't a phpunit.xml or a bootstrap.php in the tests folder. Any ideas? The Slim docs say all I need to run is phpunit tests from within the Slim directory...

Did you try the above commands to run from within the tests directory?

Mark Stickley Over a year ago

I did, yes, but it just fails :(

It turns out that this error is what you see when you specify a folder but the folder doesn't contain any files that match the pattern *Test.php.

This is NOT my problem, however. I'm running the tests from within a shared folder inside an Ubuntu VM using VirtualBox. This doesn't play well with PHPUnit, apparently. Or it might be PHP. Either way, it's incorrectly erroring because when I move the folder into a non-shared location inside the VM it works just fine.

Edit

I was running VirtualBox 4.1.0 which apparently has this problem. Upgrading to 4.1.2 fixed it and everything is running fine now. Thanks to everyone for their help.
